In May of 2005, we decided we should try fostering kittens, to ease the pain of the loss of one of our cats. We lost Pepper on a Saturday, and 3 days later, we got a call that there was a litter of 6 orange tabbies that needed a foster home. That was when it all began. The title may make you scratch your head, but I was always amazed at the amount of noise these tiny little kittens can make when they are playing. From the living room, it does indeed sound like we have elephants upstairs.

The itty bitties got their vaccinations yesterday. They were quite brave, and there was only a little blood...and it belonged to me. Note to self...cut kittens nails the morning BEFORE vaccinations!

Sierra went on view yesterday too, so that was great news. I sent them some better photos, so she will look so beautiful, everyone will want to adopt her. I need to write a nice little blurb about her too.

Halicy has decided she not only likes to climb up on my shoulder, but likes to climb on the top of my head. Of course, if SHE gets to get on my head, Sage has to climb up there too. Then there is a power struggle.

Even after vaccinations, all the itty bitties seem to be more than happy to have attention lavished on them. This is a good thing, since they are inching ever closer to the 2lbs, 8oz mark for spay/neuter. They have to begin the special training for going on view...

They will now begin extreme cuteness training. Run to anyone that opens the door...paw through the cage bars to attract attention...cry if that doesn't work. Yes indeed. This week begins extreme cuteness training.
